Development and adoption of Kernza—A perennial grain crop for sustainable agriculture

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Annual cereal grains account for ~50% of human food calories, but cultivation of these crops has resulted in major environmental and social issues worldwide. For nearly three decades, researchers have been breeding intermediate wheatgrass—a perennial cool‐season grass—to serve as the world's first commercial‐scale perennial grain crop to improve ...

Vegetal residue‐based formulation of Trichoderma ossianense, a new indigenous vineyard species adapted to alkaline pH with potential biocontrol ability against Black‐foot disease pathogens

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
The study identifies Trichoderma ossianense, was can be isolated from grapevine roots, is capable of growing at alkaline pH and controls black‐foot pathogens, highlighting the vegetal residue‐based formulations that preserve its viability. Abstract BACKGROUND Fungi of the Trichoderma genus are used in vineyards as biological control agents mainly ...

Potential of endophytic Beauveria bassiana against Coraebus (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) oak borers

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that an endophytic, oak‐associated strain of Beauveria bassiana exhibits adaptations to Quercus plants and potential against Coraebus boring beetles, supported by distinctive biological traits. Abstract BACKGROUND Oak borers in the genus Coraebus, including the bark‐ and the wood‐boring beetles C. florentinus and C. undatus, are

First genome sequence of a European Alternaria brassicae isolate and genes involved in early development of alternaria leaf spot on Brassica juncea

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
This article reports the first genome sequence of a UK Alternaria brassicae isolate. Dual RNA‐sequencing profiling of A. brassicae‐infected Brassica juncea leaves identified differentially expressed genes involved in pathogenicity and host response pathways in moderately resistant Sej‐2 (2) and moderately susceptible Pusa Jaikisan cultivars.

In vitro evaluation of azole fungicide sensitivity in Fusarium langsethiae, F. tricinctum, F. poae and F. sporotrichioides populations from Irish oats

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Microtitre plate assays of 286 Irish oat isolates show species‐specific azole sensitivity. In Fusarium langsethiae, mefentrifluconazole and tebuconazole sensitivities correlate, defining four phenotypes and supporting resistance monitoring and integrated control.

Challenges facing the management of pesticide resistance in weeds, diseases and insect pests in European agriculture and the future of effective IPM implementation

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Opinion on pesticide resistance and management in the European Union (EU) and United Kingdom (UK) is presented cognisant of changes in regulation that impact on mode of action availability and cropping system choice. Abstract In recent times, pesticide resistance has been managed reasonably effectively, either proactively or reactively, by monitoring ...
